![]() | ![]() Title: Target ssDNA activates the NADase activity of prokaryotic SPARTA immune system. Authors: Jun-Tao Zhang / Xin-Yang Wei / Ning Cui / Ruilin Tian / Ning Jia / ![]() Abstract: Argonaute proteins (Agos), which use small RNAs or DNAs as guides to recognize complementary nucleic acid targets, mediate RNA silencing in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, Agos are involved in immunity: ...Argonaute proteins (Agos), which use small RNAs or DNAs as guides to recognize complementary nucleic acid targets, mediate RNA silencing in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, Agos are involved in immunity: the short prokaryotic Ago/TIR-APAZ (SPARTA) immune system triggers cell death by degrading NAD in response to invading plasmids, but its molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here we used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structures of inactive monomeric and active tetrameric Crenotalea thermophila SPARTA complexes, revealing mechanisms underlying SPARTA assembly, RNA-guided recognition of target single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and subsequent SPARTA tetramerization, as well as tetramerization-dependent NADase activation. The small RNA guides Ago to recognize its ssDNA target, inducing SPARTA tetramerization via both Ago- and TIR-mediated interactions and resulting in a two-stranded, parallel, head-to-tail TIR rearrangement primed for NAD hydrolysis. Our findings thus identify the molecular basis for target ssDNA-mediated SPARTA activation, which will facilitate the development of SPARTA-based biotechnological tools. | ||||||
